Ouch. I'm generally in favour of having add-ons signed, but I do have an extension that injects an external script into the browser and web pages - for a completely non-nefarious use case.
I do understand the security risk and why they'd block it, but I'm not looking forward to the day my extension is no longer flying under the radar and gets pulled.
Edit: Of note is that the Chrome web-store does allow my extension, but requires a multi-week review every time I upload a new version. Somehow they're fine with the remote code, even though it could change after their review.
- dessant 7y agoChrome even allows installing local extensions that persist between browser restarts, after changing an option.
